The year is 1782 and the American War for Revolution is in its last days. Longing for adventure, Jim comes under the hypnotic spell of the legendary pirate, Long John Silver. While waiting tables in the family inn, Jim finds a treasure map and, with the villainous Silver as his seeming mentor, sails uncharted seas with only the ragged map and a flock of Gulls as guides. Always up for adventure, Jim's Ruffian friends say farewell to their village parents and serve as cabin boys for Silver and hi band of hilarious (although unsavory) pirate types. Once on the island, nights are sleepless as true colors are revealed in our hero's quest for the proverbial happy ending. Then, at last, the treasure is found and hand in hand we're homeward bound.This camp is open to kids post-Kindergarten through 12th grade. All participants must be able to attend the performance Friday at 6:30pm
